State Theatre presents American Repertory Ballet’s The Nutcracker for four performances. This classic family holiday ballet stars the professional artists of American Repertory Ballet (ARB) and students from ARB’s Princeton Ballet School. This performance also includes a live orchestra.

This year’s production features new choreography by Company Director Douglas Martin and a restored Victorian-era Act I, originally created for the company by Princeton Ballet School founder Audrée Estey in 1963. Set to Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score and featuring a cast of over 100 performers, the professional artists of American Repertory Ballet and students from Princeton Ballet School tell the classic story of a young girl and how a mysterious gift brings about enchanted dreams and fantastical scenes. This year marks American Repertory Ballet’s 48th annual season of The Nutcracker in theaters throughout New Jersey this holiday.
